Back in the United States, the Interior Department froze all meetings and work for more than 200 advisory boards and committees last week—about a third of which were related to science. The Interior Department says the committees have been frozen until Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke can review them. The freezings came as, on Friday, Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt dismissed half of the members of an EPA scientific review board, including Michigan State University professor Robert Richardson, who tweeted, “Today I was Trumped.”
